Channel swimming makes no special splash these days, so Australia's Linda McGill, 21, showed up in France with a new gimmick. A free-spirited Olympic swimmer who was banned from competition after riding a bike into the Japanese Imperial moat, Linda announced that she would tame the Channel clad only in goggles and bear grease. When the Channel Swimming Association frosted the idea, Linda added a red one-piecer to her attire and plunged in. She lost her goggles three-quarters of the way to England, then stumbled on the rocks at the finish and badly gashed herself...

Unfortunately, like his targets, Bunuel has aged poorly. His images no longer shock, his attacks, in the era of black humor, seem peculiarly tame and tepid.

His regime has put Argentina's few tame girly magazines out of business, ordered nightclubs to keep their lights bright at all times and outlawed kissing in public parks. It has banned such widely acclaimed films as the Czech-made Loves of a Blonde and Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up, based on a short story by Argentina's Julio Cortazar; it recently ordered a popular local television...

Black & White. All of these were tame enough alongside Detroit. The violence there last week was not a race riot in the pattern of the day-long 1943 battle between Negroes and whites that left 34 known dead. Last week poor whites in one section along Grand River Avenue joined teams of young Negroes in some integrated looting. When the rioters began stoning and sniping at firemen trying to fight the flames, many Negro residents armed themselves with rifles and deployed to protect the firemen. "They say they need protection," said one such Negro, "and we're damned well...
